Answer:

Portolan maps will probably not be used in a geography class because of the following reasons.

It is was a map that was used to navigate through a small area of land, the map was used on a small scale.

Secondly the portolan maps did not include the fact that the earth is spherical.

Also portolan maps where characterized by lack of map projections.

The vagaries of wind, sea and imperfect records threw off the measurements, so that upon completing a journey with the map, you wouldn’t land exactly on your starting spot.

Thatcher, Reagan and Kohl, promoted the following policies to end stagflation:

To end high inflation, they adopted the monetarist view (developed by Milton Friendman) in which the high growth in the money supply was the culprit. The central banks of these countries began to focus on keeping inflation low, and to achieve this, began to reduce the money supply.
To end high unemployment and low economic growth, they promoted the adoption of supply-side economic policies: lower taxes and less regulations so that firms were able to invest more, boost economic growth, and hire more people.
